His Airness. M.J. Air Jordan. Before Michael Jordan was any of these things, before he was the most recognizable athlete in the world, he was Mike Jordan, the freshman for North Carolina. Then he hit a game-winning shot in the 1982 national championship game, and Mike became Michael Jordan, who became all of the above. So it’s no surprise that the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame elected to induct Jordan in the first ballot he was eligible — six years after he officially retired from professional basketball in 2003. Jordan’s career stats speak to his unparalleled excellence better than any article could, but his impact on the University is equally difficult to quantify. “It’s one of those things you can’t put into words as his impact on the University,” Athletic Director Dick Baddour said.

An architecture firm that has worked with Duke University and Disney has been chosen to redesign the 12-acre lot that includes University Square and Granville Towers. Elkus Manfredi was chosen this week out of six finalists because it had the plan that best incorporated the site’s many uses — office space, retail and housing — into a single vision, said Gordon Merklein, executive director of real estate for the University. Now that the UNC-Chapel Hill Foundation owns the site, the University is planning to mostly tear it down, add office space, triple the retail space and build multilevel parking decks. The University was looking for an architectural firm that could make the site a multi-use destination while merging it visually and physically with the campus and with Franklin Street. “There is definitely a flow to their design thinking and process thinking,” Merklein said. “It’s very important that it be not just a retail location or an office location or a place to live, but that it incorporates all those elements.” Next week, representatives from the University will have a kickoff meeting with Elkus Manfredi. The Boston-based firm has worked at several universities, including Duke and Harvard. It has also worked on corporate sites and entertainment sites like Downtown Disney. Duke University Architect John Pearce worked directly with Elkus Manfredi when it was developing a master plan for buildings along Erwin Road. After development plans were far along, Duke ultimately decided not to use the firm. “We went through a selection process and determined that we wanted to take a different approach,” Pearce said. But he said he remembers the firm having good planning proposals, plenty of options, good drawings and strong communication skills.

Community moving past 9/11 tragedy Eighth anniversary of tragedy has less o∞cial remembrance By Ross Maloney Staff Writer

Today is the eighth anniversary of Sept. 11, yet the commemorative events and public reflection of the past eight years are largely absent. On the first anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, there was a campus vigil attended by thousands of students, multiple memorial ceremonies and commemorative structures and artwork. In 2006, five years after the tragedy, there was a memorial service held on campus, a silent 5K run and thousands of small American flags placed on the lower quad. This year, the flags are in place and the silent 5K happened at 6:30 a.m., but the University will otherwise carry on with its normal Friday routine. How does society move on from a national tragedy of such magnitude? The increasingly short American memory, declining media coverage due to a lack of audience interest and the rapid cycle of current events turnover all cause national tragedies to fade from the public consciousness, said Michael Welsh, a history professor at University of Northern Colorado. “Just because we have more access to information

Federal work-study money increases BY Preston spencer Staff writer

UNC will be able to fund more workstudy jobs for needy students after receiving $2 million from the federal government for the work-study program this year, up from $1.6 million last year. University administrators are particularly appreciative of the additional funds as the school faces a rising number of needy students applying for aid. Applications for financial aid rose 17 percent this year. “ They understood times were tough, and they wanted to help out,” said Phillip Asbury, deputy director of scholarships and student aid. The increase in funding will help support students as they try to pay for their education in a tighter job market.

How work-study is funded Work-study allows needy students to earn part of their financial aid through employment on campus. Students participating in work-study earn up to $2,700 during the school year, depending on the amount of time they choose to work. Federal funding usually covers about 75 percent of UNC’s total work-study budget, and the University is responsible for funding the remaining amount, Asbury said. Last year, UNC spent $900,000 more than the $1.6 million provided by the federal government. Asbury

About 1,400 students participated in the work-study program last school year. More were eligible but chose not to take part in the program.

“I would probably attribute it to the economy,” said Alaina Barth, coordinator for staff recruitment and development at the Department of Housing and Residential Education, explaining why more students applied to be RAs this year. “But I’d like to think we’re doing a better job of marketing the position as well.” Many students are also looking for Other student employment jobs off campus and outside the workDespite University budget cuts, UNC study program but are struggling to Housing and Residential Education did find them. not cut any of its Resident Assistant or “My load of trying to help students Office Assistant jobs for on-campus housing.

Rules change along with CDC advice

The search committee for the next vice chancellor of student affairs held a town hall meeting Thursday morning to scope out what administrators and students are looking for in a candidate. Only a handful of administrators and two students showed up to share their opinions. Margaret Jablonski, the current vice chancellor of student affairs, announced last spring she will be stepping down from the position, effective July 1, 2010. The vice chancellor serves as a vital link between the student body and the Division of Student Affairs. Students voiced their desire for a relatable, sympathetic vice chancellor who is informed about student life and is willing to argue on students’ behalf. The vice chancellor holds office hours to keep the lines of communication with students open. Students said the vice chancellor’s approachability is key to making this system work.

A signing of Talbott’s book, “Obama and the World,” and a question-and-answer session will follow the talk.

Volleyball looks to bench Huskies look to avenge loss as team starts home play By Powell Latimer Sports Editor

Depth is key to the Tar Heels’ season By Scott Powers Senior Writer

Dry-erase markers squeaked across a whiteboard in the Smith Center as the North Carolina volleyball team prepared for its first home match of the season. Managers were tracking the action on the court, counting kills, errors and attempts by UNC hitters. When coach Joe Sagula brought the practice to a halt, the results were tabulated, and it wasn’t one of UNC’s leaders in kills that came out on top. Senior outside hitter Megan Owens won the contest with two kills in seven attempts. Three other outside hitters have more kills on the season than Owens, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t battling for one of the two starting spots at that position. “So today I won the drill,” Owens said. “Tomorrow my goal is again to win the drill. My goal every day is to be the hardest worker and to be the one pushing myself the hardest.” Two weeks into the season,

Owens is one of 10 Tar Heel hitters who have already seen action, and they’re all competing to be on the court in the next match. Senior middle blocker Heather Brooks said every position has multiple players competing for playing time. “Having them behind you or out there in front of you and on the court playing really pushes you in your position,” Brooks said. Sagula doesn’t name starters but puts the first team on the court every day of practice. That team changes during practice as players are swapped, giving everyone a chance to compete. “It’s a day-by-day, week-by-week situation,” Owens said. “No spot is set in stone and everybody has an opportunity to always win a starting spot.” Sagula and his coaching staff are hoping that the competitive drive will propel the team to a repeat as ACC champions. The Tar Heels are carrying an

18-player roster this season, up from 16 players a year ago. Owens said she feels the need to push herself because of the depth. “If you have a bad day, there are five other people at my position, anyway, who are having better days,” Owens said. A big reason for the expanded roster is a five-player freshman class. Four of those freshmen have already played this season. “They’re going after it,” Sagula said of the freshmen. “They’re challenging our veterans and all in a really healthy way.” Tonight will be an indicator of the team’s chances of repeating as ACC champions when UNC takes on Tennessee, a team that received votes in the latest national poll. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

North Carolina’s 2008 matchup against Connecticut was an embarrassment for both teams. UNC had to deal with a 22-minute delay after the Kenan Stadium lights shorted out, and the Huskies had to endure a 38-12 whooping. So for the rematch in 2009 in Storrs, Conn., the Huskies (1-0) are looking for a little revenge. It’s almost a reversal of fortunes for North Carolina, which comes into the second game of the season with a top-20 ranking and is fresh off thumping an inferior opponent in The Citadel. “The challenge is dramatically different than a week ago,” coach Butch Davis said. “Their football team is reflective of the success they’ve had. They were sixth in the nation last year in total defense.” In 2008, UConn took a No. 24 ranking and a series of wins against Big East teams to face the Tar Heels on their home field. This time around, UNC is away, the higher-ranked team and facing its first BCS opponent of the season on a hostile field. And while UConn was picked to finish sixth in the Big East in 2009, the Huskies return six defensive starters from a squad

Ryan Houston (32) and the rest of the Tar Heels hope to repeat in Storrs, Conn., what happened last year in a 38-12 drubbing of UConn. that went 8-5 last season. If North Carolina (1-0) expects to dominate in 2009 the same way they did in 2008, things will have to start with the defensive line. In 2008, the Tar Heels routinely pressured and flustered Zach Frazer, forcing three interceptions. In fact, UNC’s line has been tabbed as a strength this season — especially after manhandling a much smaller Citadel offensive line in the first game. But at UConn, the Huskies’ offensive line is much more imposing. That unit sports three starters who stand at or taller than 6 foot, 6 inches and tip the scales at more than 310 pounds. Every starter on the offensive line in UConn’s first game had spent at least three years in the program. That’s a sizable difference from the undermanned Citadel and one more comparable to the challenges UNC’s defense will face for the rest of the season. It should prove an interesting barometer for the Tar Heels. UNC’s focus in preparation has

been the two-headed UConn rushing attack. Despite losing Donald Brown, a first-round pick in last summer’s NFL draft, the Huskies had two backs rush for more than 100 yards in the season-opener against Ohio. Jordan Todman and Andre Dixon combined for 257 yards. “One of the things that just immediately jumps off the film is their ability to hit home runs,” Davis said of the backs. “They are very fast.” Davis added that Todman and Dixon, when seen on film, reminded the coaching staff and players of the backs UNC saw at Miami last season — when Hurricane’s tailback Graig Cooper lit up UNC for 110 rushing yards.

Rescue squad suing UNC by VICTORIA STILWELL ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR

To get evidence for a federal lawsuit against the county, a local rescue squad is also suing UNC because of what they claim is a violation of state public records law. Both lawsuits stem from the volunteer rescue squad’s worry that after being told they cannot work, emergency response times have slowed. Jeremy Browner, attorney for the Orange County Rescue Squad, said he plans to argue in the federal lawsuit that the rescue squad’s due process was violated when it was placed on stand-down in June 2008 by Col. Frank Montes de Oca, director of Orange County EMS. Montes de Oca said the group was told not to work pending a review of their work after receiving complaints of unprofessionalism. The Orange County Rescue Squad filed a state action against the University in April after it was denied access to a study containing response times for Emergency Medical Services in Orange County. T h e E M S Pe r f o r m a n c e Improvement Center in the UNC Department of Emergency Medicine gathered the data the rescue squad is requesting. The squad plans to use the information as evidence that response times have slowed. But UNC officials won’t release it, claiming confidential patient information could be endangered. A representative with UNC Health Care said they were not permitted to comment on the case. A state hearing is set for Sept.

Story so far: June 2008: Col. Frank Montes de Oca, director of Emergency Management Services, asks the Orange County Rescue Squad to stand down pending review of their work. South Orange Rescue Squad is allowed to remain operating. April 2009: Jeremy Browner, the Orange County Rescue Squad’s attorney, files a lawsuit against Orange County and Col. Frank Montes de Oca, claiming violation of public records laws. They also file a federal class action lawsuit 28 to determine if the University’s information is classified as a medical record. “We’re stuck there right now,” Browner said. “So the judge has to decide right now if we have a legal right to the release that we’re seeking. If he decides that we don’t, then the case stops there.” Browner said N.C. public records law allows anyone to request records from a public entity such as UNC. “The response that we got from UNC is that it falls under protected information based on HIPAA laws,” said Brian Matthews, chief of the Orange County Rescue Squad. But Matthews said they have not requested patient information. “We just want response times from the time of dispatch to the time they arrived to the hospital. That’s all we requested,” he said. Browner said he has found several cases in which the squad

against the same parties alleging that because of the stand down and inadequate resources, the response time of the emergency calls has increased. They later file a suit against UNC to obtain withheld emergency medical response time data.

Sept. 28, 2009: A hearing

is scheduled in Hillsborough to discuss the squad’s public records suits. The date of the federal hearing is still unknown.

thinks response time would have improved if they could work. In one case, Browner said, it took a woman an hour to get to the hospital after she called EMS. He said the Orange County Rescue Squad was closer, but they couldn’t respond because of stand-down status. Browner will argue at the federal hearing that Montes de Oca has the authority to make a recommendation to Orange County Board of Commissioners, not to directly place the squad on stand-down. “He didn’ t recommend it,” Browner said. “He just decreed it.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

National and World News Afghan ambush 9/11 suspect faces Experts say new H1N1 vaccine safe kills 4 Americans a sanity hearing MIAMI (MCT) — With the fate of the Guantanamo war court still uncertain, U.S. military defense lawyers asked a civilian court Thursday to halt Pentagon plans to hold a week-long sanity hearing for an accused 9/11 conspirator later this month at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba. Army Col. Stephen Henley, a military judge, has scheduled a full week of military commission hearings at Camp Justice Sept. 21-25, starting with alleged 9-11 architect Khalid Sheik Mohammed serving as his own attorney. According to Henley’s agenda, he plans to devote the rest of that week to hearing evidence, but likely no ruling, on the question of whether Yemeni Ramzi bin alShibh, about 37, is competent to serve as his own lawyer and face trial with Mohammed in the complex conspiracy case. Bin al-Shibh, whom the U.S. military has been treating with psychotropic medications, allegedly helped the 9/11 hijackers find flight schools in America. He is accused of conspiracy in the mass murder.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Experts agree that the benefits outweigh the risks when it comes to the new swine flu vaccines, expected to be available in mid-October. Those same experts recommend getting both swine flu and seasonal flu vaccines to prepare for the upcoming flu season. “There is no scientific rationale to believe that the new vaccines are unsafe,” said Dr. Wilbur H. Chen, assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore. “The swine flu vaccines are manufactured exactly the same way as the seasonal flu vaccine.” But despite health experts’ reassurance and the “safety record of the seasonal flu vaccines,” the public continues to be concerned about side effects of the new swine flu vaccine, according to news reports. The worries may stem from the vaccination campaign of 1976, when some of those inoculated developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare, transient neurological condition that causes temporary muscle weakness.

KABUL (MCT) — Navy medical corpsman James Layton, who was identified Thursday as one of those killed in an ambush in eastern Afghanistan, had been ministering to a wounded U.S. Marine on Tuesday when they came under a volley of insurgent bullets, killing them both and two more Marines, according to their comrades. All four men were at the front of a column that had been heading on foot into the small village of Ganjgal in eastern Kunar province, close to the Pakistani border. They were on a training mission with Afghan forces, who were to search the village for weapons and then meet village elders under an agreement to establish government authority there. Insurgents had set up positions in the village and in the mountains on either side and apparently attacked as the men reached the first compound. Nine Afghans, eight of them security forces and one an interpreter for the Marine commander, were killed. Three Americans and 19 Afghans were wounded.

Sept. 11 has become less politically relevant, contributing to the 12:02 AMtragedy’s Page 1drift into the national background. “How much of 9/11’s memory is a function of our real desire to keep it alive and how much was our leaders’ desires to keep the ideas alive?” Welsh asked.

I can remember everything I was doing when JFK was killed and when the Challenger went down. It’s the same with 9/11. Who I was with, where I was walking, how I learned about it. It was a blow,” Shaw said. Its far-reaching impact is also a factor in its continued presence in the American narrative, he said. “People from this area died in the World Trade Centers.

“All over the world, wherever you go, it’s Michael Jordan, 23 and North Carolina.” Jordan’s influence makes UNC one of the most recognizable University brands, and his presence in the “One Shining Moment” recruiting video is a huge bargaining chip in getting both students and student-athletes to come to UNC.

And the basketball community at UNC will take a hefty amount of pride in Jordan’s induction. “He’s a great player and a great person,” former coach Bill Guthridge (1997-2000) said. “And we’re very proud of him.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Artwalk ﬂaunts local work Required insurance shows results Student HEALTH INSURANCE

By Mark Sabb Staff Writer

Twenty-three of Carrboro and Chapel Hill’s most renowned venues will be displaying artwork tonight as part of the towns’ monthly celebration. The 2ndFriday Artwalk takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. across the two towns, from Southern Village to downtown Carrboro. Admission is free, and there will be wine and music at some locations. Everyone from art lovers to novices is encouraged to participate. Unlike a traditional art gallery, where regulations make patrons feel obligated to whisper their thoughts on pieces, the Artwalk combines socializing with analysis of the works, which range from still photographs to oil paintings. Large venues like the Ackland Art Museum will host displays alongside lesser-known art houses like Studio Supply and Fleet Feet Gallery. Many of the smaller venues have

limited hours during the week, which keep some people from attending otherwise. Far from one-dimensional, the 2ndFriday Artwalk features everything from the most controversial and taboo pieces, such as those at The Merch on Lloyd Street in Carrboro, to paintings of North Carolina landscapes. “We try to make our place as abnormal as possible,” said Chip Hoppin, owner of The Merch. His gallery will host a Latin theme night, displaying Mexican wrestling masks while serving food out of a taco truck. Tyndall Galleries in University Mall will host a major showing of artists they represent, including several UNC alumni, said Jane Tyndall, an Artwalk veteran and UNC graduate. There also will be the opportunity to experience artistic expression from artists who reside in North Carolina, as well as sculptors who have never set foot on American soil.

to drop out later because of a more severe illness that is more costly to treat, she said. “If you’re 19 or 20, you’re not going to go to a doctor if it costs money.” If students already have insurance, often through a parent, they can opt out of the campus plan by filing a waiver. The number submitted has steadily decreased since 2001, Grimmesey said. In fall 2008, the last time the university collected data, about 5,800 waivers were approved while almost 13,000 undergraduates were on the plan. The number of waivers is down from 9,000 in 2001. To encourage participation in the plan, the annual cost of the university plan, $982.35, is built into every financial aid package. UNC’s plan is projected to cost between $549 and $679. The larger the potential number of people buying the plan, the lower a premium a school is able to negotiate, said Scott Otte, chief financial

State and National Editor

The UNC system recently made health insurance mandatory for all students and is preparing to release a draft of its statewide insurance plan — steps that some public universities took years ago. In a sign that bodes well for the UNC system, many of those schools are pleased with the results. One school has seen the popularity of its campus insurance plan skyrocket. The University of California system made health insurance mandatory in 2001, allowing individual campuses to craft their own insurance plans to offer to students. “University of California is a very large system. It needed to ensure that those students who are away from home will access care if they need it,” said Elaine Grimmesey, insurance coordinator for UC-Santa Barbara. Students with insurance are Contact the Arts Editor more likely to access care, makat artsdesk@unc.edu. ing it less likely that they’ll need

Garry Meldrum, co-founder of the Artwalk and owner of the Turning Point Gallery, will display Chinese paper sculptures at his University Mall location. Other venues provide a glimpse at local artistry, such as the N.C. Crafts Gallery, which features handcrafted artifacts. Some of its exhibits include pottery, glasswork and folk art. The gallery will showcase two North Carolinians, artists Sarah Faulkner and Jim Whalen. Faulkner will be meeting and discussing her work with those who visit the gallery during the walk. “She’s not folk, but it has a dreamy-like effect to it,” said Monica Hedgecock, a representative from the N.C. Crafts Gallery, about Faulkner.

officer at Florida State University’s Thagard Student Health Center. FSU has mandatory insurance and offers three university plans that all cost less than $1,300. “Anybody off the street looking to do that would not have any luck,” Otte said. “One of the advantages of the mandatory situations is it gives us bargaining power.” At the University of Maryland at College Park, health insurance is mandatory beginning with this year’s freshmen. University Health Center Director Sacared Bodison cited the same reasons as most universities — students are going untreated because they either can’t afford care or are not willing to pay for it. “So many schools require it and most students are covered,” she said. “We make no recommendations. All we do is ask that they are covered.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

gist who splits her time between North Carolina and Montreal, just as her main character Temperance Brennan does. The UNC-Charlotte professor’s life inspired the hit TV series “Bones.” While working on the case of a serial killer in Canada, Reichs discovered the killer had divided a body into many parts, showing a knowledge of anatomy. This made her wonder what type of person the killer was, and that led to her first book “Déjá Dead.” “I take the core idea from a case and spin it off into the ‘what if,’” she said of her process. The idea for her second book stemmed from a case involving cult-motivated killings. And in every book, Reichs said she tries to cover different kinds of science, not just different stories. Even studying bugs can produce interesting stories, as different insects in dead bodies relate to different facts about the deceased. “Maggots really are cool little things from the viewpoint of anthropologists!” she said.

said. “They said they wouldn’t count any of it against me, but I’d be responsible for the work once I came back.” Students also have different opinions about how the University is dealing with the outbreak. “I think they’re under-representing the problem,” Ray said. “I feel like there’s a lot more they could be doing to keep people from going to class and spreading it, because obviously we’re dedicated students and don’t want to miss class.” Ramos disagreed, saying the issue is being over-publicized. “It’s an issue because it causes people to panic and they get stressed out, which weakens their immune system and makes them more susceptible,” she said.

What to do if you develop flu-like symptoms: Use resources on the Campus Health Services Web site to find information about symptoms. If you are experiencing a fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea you should see a doctor. Avoid school, work and socializing. Return home if possible and self-isolate. Contact your instructors to notify them you are not feeling well and to receive instructions about making up coursework. Don’t return to normal activities until 24 hours after your fever breaks without the use of fever-reducing medicines.

Top ways to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus: Wash your hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Avoid close contact with those infected. Get flu shots for both seasonal flu and H1N1 when the vaccine becomes available in October. Use Lysol or Clorox wipes to keep clean high-touch areas such as computers, doorknobs, bathroom faucets, etc.

Condoms can be hard to come by

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Political correctness and free speech at the DTH

he priorities of the Harris Teeter in Carrboro are a little out of whack. The store keeps its condoms behind the customer service desk, so customers have to ask an employee for assistance to purchase them. There’s something terribly wrong with that. I’d heard rumors that condoms are where they are because they’re a “high-theft item.” So when I decided to look into the issue further, I thought it might be a fruitless search. It’s tough to argue with corporate measures combating petty larceny. But Scott Riley, store director of the Carrboro location, soon helped me realize that sticky fingers aren’t the problem. “They’re not a high-theft item,” he said. “There’s tons of hightheft items in a supermarket.” I was racked with suspense. “There’s not enough room for them on the floor,” Riley said, adding that Harris Teeter’s corporate offices in Charlotte determine the store’s layout. That first part sounded a little off to me, too. It’s not right that people should feel like they must ask for permission to buy a product that helps protect them from unsafe sex and unwanted pregnancies. Embarrassed kids with raging hormones won’t risk seeing parents or teachers while they’re buying condoms. Having space constraints is no excuse. And I don’t buy that it’s the real one. However, Riley said Harris Teeter does offer travel-size packages of condoms on the floor. I went to aisle eight to see for myself. It took me almost five minutes to find them. On the very top shelf, above the maxi pads and bordered by feminine cooling wipes and deodorant spray, laying flat and almost invisible on the shelf, was one package of two Trojan 2Go Ultra Thin Condoms. When it’s 2 a.m., and people have to choose between scrounging through shelves and not using condoms at all, they might not make the right choice. But despite the meager stock, I thought perhaps it was a glimmer of corporate responsibility shining through. My hopes were dashed by a surprisingly candid moment of honesty. “The only reason they’re out there is because we offer a travel section,” Riley said. Jennifer Thompson, director of communication at Harris Teeter’s corporate office in Charlotte, confirmed that the store doesn’t have space to put all the varieties of condoms on the floor. “A schematic plan is developed by Harris Teeter corporate office, but the store has the ability to adjust the plan to better serve their customer base,” Thompson stated in an e-mail. I’m no expert on commercial layout, but I suggest that Harris Teeter revisit its schematic plan as soon as possible. Because on the same aisle as the modest selection of condoms, there’s quite a bit of room. There is about a 5 feet by 5 feet section of shoe insoles, toe spacers and callus cushions. There is an even bigger section of socks and nylon knee-highs. There is “Boil Ease” for “fast relief from the pain of boils.” As sympathetic as I am toward those plagued with the evils of sore feet, infected hair follicles and runs in their stockings, I’m more concerned about those with unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. And Harris Teeter should be, too.

Hiking the fee trail Some hikes might be warranted, but students should scrutinize all proposed fee increases

fter the N.C. General Assembly-mandated $200 tuition increase and rumors of a larger hike for out-of-state students, the proposed $85 student fee increase might seem like bad timing. That’s why students need to be cognizant of the proposed increases. As the various fee committees meet to decide whether to bump annual fees to $1,845, students should scrutinize the proposals so they have a full understanding of where their money is going. Given the financial situations of many students and their families, another proposal to raise funds from students is difficult to swallow. Fee increases might truly be necessary every year because

of both inflation and new or expanded services offered by the University. But that’s not to say these fee proposals don’t pose a few concerns. For example, the proposed $18.25 increase in the student dining debt fee is questionable. Students who choose to opt out of meal plans shouldn’t have to bear the burden of Carolina Dining Services inefficiencies or dining hall improvements. But not all student fee increases are bad. In contrast to the General Assembly’s student tax on all UNC-system schools, these fees do, in fact, directly benefit students. For instance, some of the $4 increase in the campus recreation fee will help fund salaries for student employees and

sport clubs. And unlike an out-of-state tuition hike, the fees are fairly and equally applied to all. This $85 hike in student fees is in line with fee increases from years before. In particular, the past two years have seen increases of just less than 4 percent. And student fees have risen almost $400 over the past seven years. While many of these fees are reasonable, students shouldn’t simply just pay the fees without first being able to pay attention to how their money is being spent.

Student advisers a plus New peer advising program is a great idea, should help students navigate the University

ith the addition of peer advisers, students will now have an opportunity to receive academic mentoring from their fellow students. The Academic Advising Program is still in place to help students with some of the more administrative problems they may face, but the peer advising program gives students something they have never had before — an adviser their age, with similar interests and ambitions, who has useful knowledge to share. These new student advisers will be experienced upperclassmen with an established knowledge of classes and professors, as well as the notable policies and quirks of their respective departments.

The program currently covers only eight departments, all of which are in the College of Arts and Sciences. Nevertheless, this is great for its first year. And as more people hear about this program and more volunteers are approved, more departments should be included. The program will be set up very informally, allowing students to take as much as possible from meetings. Students can ask frank questions which employees in Academic Advising may not be able or willing to answer, but which their peers can. This information and openness would improve any student’s college experience. A student could use the

program to determine which classes and professors to seek out, which to avoid or even to make a decision on a major or minor. This is a great way for inexperienced students to get free, candid advice, and the informal setting has the added possibility of creating friendships that might never have occurred otherwise. Student government is working on creating a similar program to assist students in preparing for study abroad programs, which would be equally helpful. Everyone wins with programs like these, and with future success they should expand their coverage to include more students by incorporating more departments and colleges.

Square deal University Square development must serve many

ranville Towers and University Square are an eyesore, but the University shouldn’t rush to demolish the towers or the square now that it controls the property. University officials are currently deliberating on a plan for the space. The property’s current design is an inefficient use of land, but officials have several ideas to improve it, including new student housing, more retail space, a new parking deck or an arts venue. There are also some ideas out there to turn the property — or at least part of it — into market-value housing. T his is a bad idea. It might provide funds for the University, but it doesn’t serve

the community. This newly acquired property needs to serve the needs of the students, employees and town. More than 1,300 students live in Granville. And the University will be expanding in the next few years to accommodate growth in the UNC system. This property needs some kind of student housing. And the needs of University employees should also be kept in mind during planning. When the University adds parking to the space, the deck should operate similarly to Cobb Parking Deck, offering employee and student permit parking during the day and free parking after 5 p.m.

About 48 percent of faculty and staff don’t park on campus. There’s no way to know how many employees want to park on campus and can’t. But more parking closer to the classrooms would be appreciated. Free parking at night would also benefit downtown, where parking is already limited. The town will already benefit from the proposed retail-space expansion. Officials say the current 30,000 square feet of retail space will be increased to 90,000 or 100,000 square feet. The town could always use more economic development. And the Granville property gives the University an opportunity to help the town out. But it should do so with the right priorities.

TO THE EDITOR: I recently replied to a column by Domenic R.A. Powell (“Pause helpful for calmer analysis,” Aug. 26), which compared Youth for Western Civilization to a rotten apple, claiming that Marcus Epstein, charged with a hate crime, was an early leader. My own research indicates that Epstein was never a member or leader. This claim evidently originated with the One People’s Project, which states that “YWC is a vile, vile group who’s members focus is ... to educate, organize and train activists on campuses across the nation to create a culture that will promote the survival of Western Civilization and pride in Western heritage”. I am at a loss to know what is vile in this statement. What is vile and perhaps fascist is the disruption of Universitysanctioned events because of disagreement with views that may be expressed. Responding to my inquiry, Harrison Jobe, The Daily Tar Heel opinion editor, said “This was not published because you appear to have your facts wrong.” He cited the Southern Poverty Law Center as his authority, saying “I trust their documentation on hate groups,” neglecting to offer evidence from a primary source. Jobe’s final statement to me was “You are more than welcome to submit a letter to the editor on your opinion, but no false information in it will be published.” It is a sad day when an editor of the DTH decides what the truth is, based on his prejudices.

School spirit overlooked in Fuller’s column on slurs TO THE EDITOR: I commend Jessica Fuller for attending UNC’s opening football game last Saturday, but I think maybe she was missing the point of the game in her column (“Slurs only reinforce gender labels,” Aug. 7). The point wasn’t to be politically correct — the point was to cheer on our team. I don’t think people quite understand what they are saying when they use colloquial terms such as “suck” and “gay.” However, these terms are intended to be understood as slang terms, not as personal insults or even an outlook on society. Pejorative terms have been used throughout history. One of our more popular terms, “terrific,” originally referred to frightful or “terrifying” things. Who knows how terms will transform in future usage. I’m not saying that the insults shouted at the game were right, but I think we can overlook the insult to women they implied. I’m confident in my femininity, and those words do not change what I can accomplish in society. I think what was important at the football game was the school spirit of the majority, not the insults of the few and obnoxious. Shannon Spain Sophomore Linguistics

Dear GDI in my Italian class: You used the words “bro,” “straight,” “chill,” “tight,” and “man” a total of 58 times this week. Stop that.
